TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. PEVEY, of Lowell, county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful improvements in Direction Labels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in providing, for a label or tag, a fibrous material, forming a loop. for the string attached or detached.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and, use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure 1 represents a plan of a finished lab bl with. string attached.

Figure 2 represents a plan of an unfinished label, showing the fibrous material, where inserted, and how united.

a represents the label or tag; 6 the lap; c the fibrous material; d the string, and e the loop. The paper for the label being formed in its desired shape, with body a and lap 12, the fibrous material a having been previously prepared and formed of the required size and shape, with the adhesive substance applied to each side, is then placed on theneck of the body of the label, so that the neck of the fibrous material 0 will correspond with the neck of the body of the label before folded. The string d is then laid across the smallest part-of the neck. Then the lap b, with fibrous material, is folded over on to its corresponding form. It is then pressed down, which forms the loop a, and the label is finished.

In all kinds of labels now manufactured much difiiculty has been experienced by that portion where the string has to be subsequently attached for use, caused, in many instances, by being exposed to dampness and wet weather. And further, labels are not perfected until the string is attached. In my label these difficulties are entirely obviated. The neekof the label, by aid of the fibrous material, is as strong as the body. The fibrous material 0 being entirely enclosed by the paper and adhesive substance, is entirely safe and proof against wet. The string d being attached, its user is ready to fasten it to the required merchandise.

What I claim as my invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I claim inserting a fibrous material, substantially as described and for the purposes fully set forth.

GEORGE E. PEVEY.
